Don't worry, they're conducting an internal investigation.

The second deputy pointed the weapon at the first deputy and – apparently unaware the weapon was loaded – pulled the trigger.

We call that Attempted Murder of a Police Officer and I believe the term is LIFE IN PRISON

Uh...right. Because the best way to find out if a firearm is loaded or not is to point it at your friend and pull the trigger.

I don't think that was a .22, though. A "Baby Glock" is usually construed as a Model 36 in 9mm, a very popular backup carry piece. The hole shown is not a .22.

I’m sure glad this is in California, where they have strict gun laws. Guns are dangerous and only the police can be trusted to know how to use them properly. /s/s/s/s

Sources told NBC Bay Area that Gaines brought the handgun, a 22-caliber “baby” Glock, to work ...

Remember this kind of journalistic incompetence with EVERYTHING they report.

and was apparently not familiar with how it operated.

Just a thought - regardless of how the firearm "operates," if you keep your booger hook off the bang switch, you'll probably do OK.

Oops - typo. That’s a model 26, not 36. My bad.

22 caliber — I think not.

I don’t know if you can fix stupid with a refresher course.

A .380?

I believe a G22 is .40 cal.

A Glock 22 is the standard .40 cal model.

Could be. They make a model 42 in .380. Whatever it was, it went through three layers of sheet metal and lodged in the wall.

At least we didn’t get the old ‘I was cleaning it and it went off’ line.

Yeah, but it's a full-sized handgun (I have one and I love it).

Better accuracy than most MSM Reports.

The guy actually was 2 for 2 for hitting something.
